Taixing six years.

September.

Second grade of junior high school.

It is suitable for offering sacrifices, traveling, getting married, and laying a bed for burial.

Avoid digging wells and digging soil for planting stoves.

It's not a particularly good day, nor is it a particularly bad day.

In the evening of this day, the sky has darkened, but in the Shangshu table in Xu County, there are still constant exchanges of officials. People from various departments come to report, people come to report, people holding large and small documents, people follow each other.

, one thing leads to another. The celebration of "Worldwide Celebration" is right in front of us, and there are more and more things to do.

Personnel need to be arranged, accommodation, food and drink, even toileting needs to be coordinated. Can't we just let these people who come from various counties and counties to congratulate the emperor and congratulate the prime minister sleep on the streets?

Supplies also need to be prepared, stored, transferred, and withdrawn, and accounts need to be set up. After all, these supplies are going to be used for the celebration, so they can't line their own pockets halfway?

Xun Yu was wearing dark silk clothes, and under the light of candles in the hall, he was listening to the officials' reports and approving the written documents. He didn't know whether it was because of the hot weather, the heavy workload, or the increase in temperature caused by the candles.

There was a slight sweat on Xun Yu's forehead, and his temples were also moistened, sticking to the sides of his cheeks.

When there are more things and people, there will naturally be more wrangling.

Fortunately, Xun Yu is in charge.

Xun Yu could handle everything within the scope of authority of Shangshutai almost with his eyes closed. Whose business was his business, and whoever caused trouble was his business. Several departments or divisions were playing ball with each other.

Xun Yu could straighten out the dirty things with just a few words, and then everyone would perform their duties.

There were countless people coming and going, but Xun Yu handled them all without any confusion. The officials who came here couldn't help but admire them!

After all, here at the Chancellery, no official would dare to use documents from "relevant departments" as a dagger, and once the cover-ups and lies about many things are exposed, the key things will become simpler.

Either they are afraid of taking responsibility, or they find it troublesome, and after assigning specific people, it is related to their own hat, so they dare not neglect it.

Hats, ribbons, and official seals are treasures! With these things, you can be a herdsman on behalf of the emperor!

Rounding it off, that’s 100 million, uh, Tu Emperor!

For the sake of the local emperor, um, official hat, ribbon and official seal, you can sacrifice anything!

What’s more, this time it’s “celebration from all over the world”!

How much oil and water is there... uh, how much etiquette!

The entire Xu County area is already busy, and all matters are being carried out around this one thing. Countless officials, large and small, are rushing around, sending out instructions one after another, and bringing back messages one by one.

But there is only one, uh, two, um, there is only one Xun Yu on the Chancellor's desk, so even if Xun Yu has eight extra hands, two of which are particularly long like octopuses, he still can't take care of them.

The whole area, especially this time involving such a large-scale celebration, even related to the ban, became more and more chaotic.

In such chaos, one person's lazy look, or to put it nicely, leisurely look, is particularly obvious...

Guo Jia walked in unsteadily.

Guo Jia basically didn't participate in specific chores, but he was a friend of Xun Yu and a popular person in front of Cao Cao, so even if he didn't have a position or even a position at the Chancellery, he wouldn't do much work even if he came, but as long as he came

Now, there are still people who will lead the way in front of Guo Jia. The officials outside the political hall also stood up and saluted respectfully when they saw Guo Jia. Guo Jia did not have a straight face, he smiled as if he had drank some wine.

A half-drunk smile with a lovely smile.

Everyone knows that Guo Jia knows the way, but he will still guide Guo Jia.

What does this celebration mean?

Is this really the emperor’s intention?

Some officials may not know it, but some officials must know it in their hearts. After all, what the position of prime minister means to the great man and the emperor, as long as you think about it seriously, you can still figure it out.

However, at this moment, at least no one in the Chancellery raised a question. Even though they knew that at this point in time, there are still many things that need to be done urgently and are important, but no one asked.

I will take the initiative to bring it up.

It's like everyone knows what the position of prime minister means to the great man and the emperor, but as long as he still has his hat, can still get his salary, and even has the possibility of being promoted to a higher position, then everything still doesn't matter.

For some officials, being an official is just to obtain their own rights and interests, so naturally everything is focused on their own rights and authority, and the rest are secondary or even unimportant.

Guo Jia walked into the political hall, smiled and greeted some of the deputies sitting under Xun Yu, and then said to Xun Yu: "Mr.

Working day and night! Working for the country and the public! How admirable and admirable!"

Xun Yu took a slight breath and raised his head. Then he felt his neck was a little stiff and sore. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Come here, let me know. Today's government affairs are here for the time being. You can go back and have a rest... What hasn't been finished yet will be handled tomorrow."

Next thing is... don't be late tomorrow at 9:00..."

The adjutants in the hall quickly bowed and bowed, "Thank you for your mercy! We can't thank you enough!"

The adjutant and assistant officer quickly put down the writing in their hands, took the cover of the cage and put it up, pasted a note, wrote down their names and some specific records, then they all stood up to say goodbye to Xun Yu, and then specially said to Xun Yu.

Guo Jia bowed before exiting the political hall.

Guo Jia also gave instructions outside, asking the attendants on duty to bring some syrup and other things up.

After Xun Yu finished approving the text in his hand, he subconsciously put it aside with one hand, and then went to pick up the new text with the other hand. He paused when he got it in his hand, then smiled bitterly, put the text down, and smiled slightly.

He sighed and put down his pen, "Did Fengxiao come here specifically to mock me?"

Guo Jia laughed and said, "Scornful? I don't dare. I'm here to see your diligence."

"Tell me, what is going on?" Xun Yu said calmly.

Guo Jia sat down and casually took the syrup sent by his subordinates. "It is the emperor's wish to rejuvenate the great Han Dynasty. It is also the right intention to report victory to the temple and to offer rewards in suburban sacrifices. It was decreed by the emperor... so what's the point?"

What’s the purpose? Just do it casually, not to mention that everyone is just a mess and everyone is happy, so isn’t that the end of it?」

Xun Yu shook his head from side to side, as if relaxing his muscles and bones, but also as if he was denying it, "Okay, what if you do it?"

"You understand." Guo Jia lowered his head and drank the syrup.

Xun Yu said, "Understanding is understanding, and things are things."

Guo Jia put down the bowl, shook his head and said, "No, this is just how you see it."

Xun Yu frowned, "What do you mean..."

Guo Jia tilted his head and looked at the sky in the courtyard where the sky was getting dark, "I... went for a walk around the area today..."

Xun Yu suddenly had some not-so-good premonitions in his heart.

Guo Jia paused and glanced sideways at Xun Yu, "What, do you want to continue?"

Xun Yu took a deep breath, sat up straight, and said, "Just tell me."

"The celebration is the biggest, but isn't it the only celebration?" Guo Jia said.

Xun Yu looked a little solemn and said: "What did you find? Is it the counties below..."

"It seems that you have expected it," Guo Jia laughed twice, "That's right. I saw that you issued an order two days ago that prohibited officials from all over the country from using the name of the celebration to create clever names and collect fees... and they were not allowed to do so.

In the name of the safety of the celebration, people are banned from traveling... We also need to take care of the autumn harvest, pay attention to Zhuanghe's autumn poems, etc., right?"

Xun Yu nodded slowly.

The celebration requires a large amount of materials, which will inevitably cause market fluctuations. This is almost inevitable. As long as there is no water in your head, you can definitely imagine it. Of course, Xun Yu must take precautions.

In addition, during the celebration, if people's safety work is not organized, then the thefts will be small, and the suspension bridge may collapse and the crowd will stampede, so is it important to take safety precautions in advance?

Guo Jia put his hands on his hands and smiled, "Look, our Lord, how comprehensively he has considered and taken care of every aspect..."

"What on earth are you going to say?" Xun Yu looked at Guo Jia.

Guo Jia also turned to look at Xun Yu, "But your lord is your lord after all, and there is only one."

Xun Yu's heart couldn't help but jump, "You mean..."

"Do you know what the low-level officials do?" Guo Jia said with a smile, "They are not like you. They have neither the same ability nor the same diligence as you. These officials, do you think...

…What will they do when they face so many things?』

"..." Xun Yu was silent for a long time, and then said, "I sent people there... and I specially recorded the situation, with signatures and signatures..."

Guo Jia nodded and said, "Haha, yes, you sent people there, and those people who went there didn't lie to you... they told the truth, and reported the truth..."

Xun Yu frowned, and the lines between his eyebrows looked darker and darker under the light and shadow, "Then... you say."

"Okay!" Guo Jia said slowly, "Do you know what "borrowing a position" means?"

Xun Yu's eyes narrowed, "..."

"The people over there have already received the news before your people arrive..." Guo Jia slowly gathered the cups, wooden plates, pen holders, etc. on the table together and stacked them in one place, "

Then it was like this... When I opened the warehouse door and took a look, wow, the materials were so rich and piled as high as a mountain. The people's lives must be very secure, the market supply must be sufficient, and there must be hope for stable prices... right?

』

"Did your man lie to you? No, that's all he saw. There are plenty of warehouses, and the shelves of the shops in the market are full. There are smiling faces everywhere. Everyone you ask feels safe and happy, and everyone can eat."

We have enough to eat, we have clothes to wear, all prices are stable, everything is normal, right?"

"Then your men came back with good news and reported it to you and to the emperor. Everything is fine in the surrounding counties and counties. The people live and work in peace and contentment. The market is in order. The officials are diligent and talented. Everything is so beautiful. Yes.

wrong?"
